Toomuc Valley is located on the south east edge of the Melbourne suburban area. It is unique in that while it is only minutes from the urban sprawl, it remains the home to many types of native flora and fauna. Toomuc Landcare is involved not only in the replanting of native vegetation and the removal of weeds but also in the monitoring and maintenance of native wildlife. Its greatest attribute is its community involvement.
